Less than 24 hours out from launching their season in Las Vegas, the Cowboys are keeping their cards close to their chest about whether controversial recruit Matt Lodge will be unleashed on the Knights.

Reds skipper Fraser McReight concedes he and teammates needed to digest some hard truths after their opening round hammering by the Waratahs. But the honesty session clearly paid off against the Highlanders.

Just when it seemed like the Wallabies had restored rugby's standing in Australia, now they're reeling from a 6th loss in their past seven tests.

While a whitewash is tipped, Broncos legend Darren Lockyer has cautioned the Kangaroos not to underestimate the Wembley factor inspiring England. 7NEWS.com.au/sport @JelisaApps
